The Love of Christ
The Love of Christ!
Far, far beyond my finite mind,
Past finding out to mortal man;
Though searching still, I yet despair
Its farthest bounds to span.O hidden love!
A curtain veils Christ’s secret heart
That none can ever fully draw,
With fold on fold of unseen depths
I scarcely knew before.But now at length,
With pressure of exquisite joy,
That love surrounds and burdens me
Until my soul can hardly bear
The weight of ecstasy.Sweet love of Christ!
Revealed in part yet hidden still,
Unsearchable, but strangely near;
And heaven would not be heaven to me
Unless His love were there!
